Awful app

What more can I say, compared to hangouts this app is awful. Crashes all the time, fails to send pictures and videos. Would give it 0 stars if I could

Persistent battery issues

I love the app and have been using it for years. However, it’s absolutely killing my battery on the latest iOS versions. I found that by deleting and reinstalling, it’s again fine for some amount of time, but when I notice my phone running very hot doing nothing and check back again… I see that it’s constantly running while backgrounded. Rinse and repeated for multiple iterations. I’ve never had this issue with the other mobile platform, and it has been occurring here for me for months. Any suggestions to help would be appreciated, and I’ll happily revise my review if this is resolved.
